But i could not get it to work and I hope someone would advice me which area I done wrong. Minute Hour Day Month Weekday Command Actions * 9,23 * * 1-5 wget -a /home/teststore/public_html/catalog_mode.txt https://www.teststore.com.sg/catalog_mode.php -O /dev/null Edit Delete Command: wget -a /home/teststore/public_html/catalog_mode.txt https://www.teststore.com.sg/catalog_mode.php -O /dev/null Appreciate someone could advice me.

tomerg3 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Does it work when you try to manually run it? What does the log file say? Did you try to add your email address in the cron (cpanel), it will email you the output. Did you try running using plain php and not using wget?

goldsilversingapore Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) Manually i try to run https://www.teststor...atalog_mode.php it is working, but cron job seems not running. I do not know how to run plain php. I do not know the command to do it. I dunno what is the cause of the issue.

mlbx Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) Doesn't that first asterisk mean 'every minute'? There is a useful interactive learning resource at http://www.dataphyx.com that lets you enter any combination of crontab timing parameters and see a list of future job run-times.
